Betchworth Quarry was used for chalk working and later clay. It came into
disuse in the late 1960s and has since been earmarked for a nature reserve.
As such a major part of the quarry has been used as landfill, which was
completed at the end of 2005 - which means that much of the distinctive
"quarry" features have now been buried!

The area can be accessed by the North Downs Way, a path that runs across
the hills of Surrey.
